You will not believe this...
 

Recently I posted a few negative comments on some threads critisising Australian employment law.
Those mulling up whether to come to Oz or stay in the UK might take interest in this...
I recently hired a person of Asian origin and fired him a year later for under-performing.
Although the entire team is multicultural and I am a foreigner(Australian) myself he has taken me to he tribunal claiming a am a racist and fired him for racially motivated reasons.....the proof his lawyers have put forward.....that I made a few negative comments about the 7/7 bombings-ie I disapproved of the bombings. I should have been more "sympathetic" to the cultural values of the bombers.
You probably dont believe this but it is really true.

Re: You will ot believe this...

Re: You will not believe this...
 

Nah......you're fibbing...

Re: You will not believe this...
 

I swear I am not-OK. One of the comments I was accused of saying was-"the Next thing it will happen in Australia"-I actually never made this comment at all.

Re: You will not believe this...
 

I'm sure if the Next thing really did happen in Australia it would make a lot of the ladies very happy.

Re: You will ot believe this...
 

I'm outta here for now......gotta earn some Reichmarks....

Re: You will not believe this...
 

to be a little more precise the idea was that by demonstrating that I particularly objected to this event-one could assume I "might" be anti-Islamic-and therefore assuming I might have thought that this guy was Islamic(I knew he was Hindu), I fired him for being so-actually he was a lazy bugger.

Re: You will not believe this...
 

Almost did happen too...so I have no idea why even if you had said this that anyone would have a right to dispute it as scare-mongering and inciting racial tension?

Re: You will not believe this...
 

That was the comment I got grilled over the most-the implication being that I am some sort of Aussie redneck(well.....)

Re: You will not believe this...
 

Who's grilling you?

Re: You will not believe this...
 

His lawyer

Re: You will not believe this...
 

His statement also harped on about this comment-which I never said-actually what I did say was-and again you will not believe that this got twisted in such a manner-something like-"In Australia they are going way overboard talking of the possibility of an attack there(though now I am not so sure of that).

Re: You will not believe this...
 

I can't actually see that he has a leg to stand on. Do any of your other colleagues concur with your decision and for the reason that you decided to execute it?

If you can show a consensus amonsgt the ethnic spectrum of people that work with you then I can't see that he has a point to argue?
